LOS ANGELES—To mark the month of Masturbation May, the Shameless Sex podcast is hosting a ‘Self-Pleasure 30-Day Challenge’ on its Instagram page @shamelesssexpodcast.
Shameless Sex is a weekly podcast of unbridled, unscripted and uncut conversations about sex-positive issues in the modern world.
Throughout the month of May (the Challenge runs through May 30), Shameless Sex moderators April Lampert and Amy Baldwin are inviting everyone to participate in self-pleasure for a minimum of 10 minutes a day only using their hand/s (no porn or toys).
“Every 10 days we will ask participants to send an anonymous photo of themselves—much like we did for our Female Sexuality Myth and Shame-busting IG campaign—where they hold up a sign over their faces written with ten words or less, describing your week’s experience,” said Lampert of the liberating experiment. “The intention is to highlight the power of self-pleasuring as a self-care practice that can lead to deeper connection to one's body/sexuality, as well as open up the doors for new and more pleasure.”
Those who join in the Self-Pleasure 30-Day Challenge will be entered into a special raffle, with a grand prize on offer of a Hot Octopuss Duo, Uberlube, access to OMGyes, access to our online workshop, a session with a Sexological Bodyworker—a retail value of more then $1,000.
In addition to the grand prize, other Challenge participants will receive also prizes, such as access to Lampert and Baldwin’s Shameless Sex workshop, plus Uberlube, access to OMGyes, and other goodies.
“We want to de-stigmatize masturbation - plenty of folks continue to have shame around it, and it's not a surprise, as our understanding is that it's old definition was ‘to soil one's self with their own hand’,” said Lampert. “This is ridiculous, considering that what happens for folks with a healthy masturbation practice is often quite the opposite: They generally have more profound sexual satisfaction, feelings of empowerment and overall aliveness!”
